Q:

I'm new to this, as I've only known I've had diabetes three weeks. I've made tremendous changes in my diet since then. While changes in my eating habits have been the biggest, I'm noticing fluctuations in my sugar levels from 171-136 and I'm wanting to know are there other factors besides foods contributing to blood sugar.

A:

Hi there and thank you for the question! Unfortunately I am not a medical professional and would be unable to provide you with an accurate answer. I would however consult this with your doctor as he or she could provide you with the answer(s) you are looking for. Hope this helps!
